Sexual Assault-and-Violence Awareness and Education
Education of students, staff, and faculty through a variety of venues, learning
opportunities, and training resources is essential for enhancing a culture of safety and preventing sexual assault-and-violence. Prevention activities such as a bystander intervention program, working with our communities on education about masculinities, gendered violence and vulnerable populations, and delivering broad-based and targeted education and awareness campaigns (including orientation activities and regular articles in “Student Health 101” and/or similar online resources) are essential for building a respectful working, learning, living environment.
Campion will develop and implement appropriate activities related to education and awareness, training resources, physical space design and coordination, and a culture of safety.
If the University makes training resources available Campion will ensure that such opportunities, assistance and training are communicated within Campion.
Reporting and Responding to Sexual Assault-and-Violence
Members of the Campion community should immediately ( or at a time when they feel comfortable and safe to do so) report incidents of sexual assault-and-violence to a trusted Campion employee or to Campus Security when they are subject to, witness or have knowledge of a sexual assault-and-violence, or have reason to believe that sexual assaultand-violence has occurred or may occur.
Reporting Process and Investigations
A report of sexual assault-and-violence can be made under this policy by any member of the Campion community and relevant third parties (e.g., contractors and visitors). Reports can be filed with Campus Security (and/or the Regina Police Liaison Officer), Counseling Services, or Human Resources.
Campion will seek to achieve procedural fairness in dealing with all reports or allegations of sexual assault-and-violence. It is intended that accused individuals be given reasonable notice, with full detail of the allegations, and are provided with an opportunity to answer the allegations made against them.
At least one staff person in Campus Security will serve to coordinate responses of reports of sexual assault-and-violence making use of a team of experts and a collaborative protocol to best meet the needs of survivors during their recovery process. The lead staff or unit of a support team will be determined on a case-by-case basis, as required for the survivor’s recovery process. Such team may include Campion counselors University counselors from Harassment, Discrimination Prevention and Conflict Resolutions Services, the Regina Police Service Liaison officer, members of Campus Security, and other experts as required. This same staff person will lead training and resource development opportunities for the Campion community.
